    A small trephine offers an effective surgical method for chalazion removal and tarsal biopsies. This technique has shown minimal recurrence and complications in over 1,000 procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Ophthalmic Surgery

    Background:

    • Chalazion is a common eyelid cyst.
    • Surgical excision is a standard treatment.
    • Tarsal biopsy may be indicated for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel surgical approach using a small trephine.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique for chalazion surgery and tarsal biopsy.

    Main Methods:

    • A small trephine was utilized for chalazion excision.
    • The trephine was also employed for tarsal biopsies.
    • Over 1,000 cases were retrospectively analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • The trephine technique proved effective in over 1,000 cases.
